How to Use Turmeric for Healthy Snacking

When some people go on a diet they want to try and stop all snacking, but old habits can be hard to break. Snacking also isn’t the worst thing in the world if you do it correctly and it can help bridge the gap between meals. If afternoon hunger has you salivating for a quick snack, grab something healthy that will benefit your body! At Himalaya we love Turmeric, a super food in its own right, and it’s easily added to one of our favorite roasted nut recipes.

A Smarter, Healthier Snack Choice

Turmeric Roasted Nuts are a great snack you can make in bulk and easily stow away in your bag when you’re on the go. This is an easy recipe that will only take you 20-30 minutes from start to finish. You can also put your own spin on this roasted nuts recipe! Feel free to replace the coconut sugar with brown sugar, honey or anything else your heart desires. You can also use whatever mix of nuts you prefer and add other ingredients such as raisins after the nuts are done baking.

Healthy Snacking Leads to a Healthy Life

Making healthy choices when it comes to snacking can have a domino effect for your other meals too. An afternoon snack will curb your appetite so you’re not starving when dinnertime rolls around. This can be helpful for controlling portion sizes at mealtime to avoid overeating. At Himalaya we want to make you feel well in all aspects of your life.
